I am going to be at the New Orleans Comic Con 2012 on Nov 30th, Dec 1st and 2nd selling prints.  Some stuff you've seen before, some stuff you haven't seen before.  Namely I finished the background I did for madness day 2012 and cleaned up the Sanford - For Deimos print (which can be seen here: [link] if you're interested in preordering, will be available to ship after the NOLA con), along with some other goodies.

Always a tense thing to put art on the line, here's to hoping it'll be a fun time. It's NOLA though, worst case scenario I get to eat a po boy and absorb some of that wonderful New Orleanean culture.

So yeah, if you're in the area stop by!

Thanks for keeping up with my non-animated shenanigans.

Also: Next incident is going to be the bloodiest thing I ever made, though.  I need to wring out some gore before I get to work on mc11.  I won't lie, it intimidates me and I need to just spill about 60 gallons of blood before getting to it.

Over the last few months I've made a real effort in improving my 'art'.  A lot of this has been grinding figure studies, constantly.  I'm really hoping to improve at my ability to express form and shape through the linework/shading that I do, but I feel like I'm falling well short of this goal.

My current direction is to just keep grinding static/action figure poses with two tone shading to express shape, but any tips/guides/practice studies that can be recommended to me would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to feel like I'm getting 'stuck' here with where I am.

Comic con was awesome, and so were the rest of my adventures.  Met cool new people, saw awesome old friends, and ate tons of fatty foods.  Three weeks away from my precious computer and tablet, though.  Way too long.  So glad to be back.



Also I've gotten a bunch of chicken scratch down in my sketchpad that tells me I'm starting to animate Madness Combat 11.  It'll be a slow and arduous process though, Project Nexus is overdue for an update.

How've you all been?

Tomorrow morning I depart via car to San Diego to nerd it up for a whole weekend.  After that I'll be stopping in Colorado for a bit before headed back home.

Just a heads up, guys, I ain't gonna be around for a few weeks.
